SLORYDER Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 I'm thinking it is .080" but I'm not sure.. Quote
mopar1rules Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 remember that different base gaskets and head gasket thicknesses will change that too. Quote

mopar1rules Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 i know when i had moose head and base gaskets, that i had .080" squish, thus requiring me to shave .030" off the head, to get .050" squish. the moose head gasket is the same thickness as the OEM head gasket. the OEM base gasket is thinner than my new moose racing base gasket. i'm guessing that the squish clearance w/the OEM gasket, would be approx .068", as my moose gasket is appearing to be .012" thicker than the OEM base gasket.

AKheathen Posted April 30, 2010 Report Posted April 30, 2010 ...i want to say it's normally between .055" and .060' with stock everything Quote
